    StreetPass was a super cool feature. I used to take my 3DS on the subway with me and see how many new Miis I would get. Too bad there is no equally cool replacement for the Switch.

        They didn’t actively remove it, they just didn’t reimplement it. Streetpass seems like a lot of work to implement, and with the move away from miis it probably would have needed a complete overhaul.

    I’ll boot mine up this evening but I won’t be holding my breath for any hits. I hope I’m wrong

    Might take mine to the movie theater later tonight when I go see Scream. Hopefully tonight I’ll get one street pass. Only person I got from the Mario movie on opening night was my friend next to me.

      It’s no different than contract tracing that’s been on phones since Covid, probably neglible effect on battery since all it has to do is periodically scan nearby Bluetooth devices which the phone already does.

    Hey why not, I’ll place mine by the door.

    Last time I got a street pass was in May at a convention, and I got a ton.
